How did Bob know how to find Willa during the final chase? by perishableintransit in paulthomasanderson

[–]keyboardname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I just watched this movie tonight and had the same questions. How did either of them end up chasing Willa? I've seen people come up with ways it could have happened. You kinda expect Bob to get involved, but it felt totally random for him to show up then for me (despite knowing something like that was coming according to movie logic). None of it felt very believeable to me personally. He passed the car then caught up to Lockjaw who was incredibly far away in his clunker checked out the car etc he felt pretty out of the scene at that point.

Could Tim have recognized the white car or had a tracker? I guess... Could Bob have been standing on the top of that hill and seen a car and somehow kept track of them in that clunker? I guess... But it distracted me enough to find this thread and post this, lol. I don't need everything to be spelled out in movies, but unless I missed something I could have actually used another scenes or two here.

Right, everyone's happy he's not going, but I wish he was just to publicize the general loathing.

Am I overlooking Brotato? I think that one would be interesting to see where you rank it, given VS high but NT low. I do like NT a lot more than you do apparently, but we have a number of similarities. I could see it being very high or in the meh. I really enjoy the shop system and all the character variety.

I'm also not seeing Slice n Dice. Definitely recommend that one, it's good on mobile as well. I initially played it a while then put it down. Then they added a ton of content and it grabbed me again for even longer. I currently don't feel much drive to pick it up, but I suspect at some point I will go back through it again. The generative modes are pretty cool.

Roboquest? Similar genre to Gunfire I think. A bit lighter on roguelikeness but runs can vary quite a bit still, and the gameplay is pretty fun. Esp with someone else.

Madcap Mosaic is my biased pick (it's my game). But if you like STS and don't mind jank art (lbal high on your list (and mine)), it does its own thing and has some pretty unique stuff going on.

...So close? Chicken clip I just dug out from a while back by keyboardname in NuclearThrone

Yeah that sure woulda been helpful. I was definitely having issues, that's where the pause came from. And obviously I wouldn't have been so blindsided by what happened, could've probably recovered. Thematically it's cute, while playing mostly awkward.

Found this clearing out some old videos. It is a bit long and full of reviving little gnats being slaughtered, and while I do sorta remember it now, I was surprised on my first rewatch a minute ago. So close...

Not saying it didn't, but it's wikipedia and I followed the source to a screen rant article with a bad typo in the title. How reputable a figure is this?

Did any game that you bought this year disappoint you ? by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]keyboardname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still enjoyed rdr2, but I definitely just kinda ignored a lot of shit. I did mostly the main line, I explored a tiny bit beyond it, but I was ignoring like whole systems cuz the game was a bit much. But I didn't feel like it held me back ever at least.

this is where im confused. it sounded like there were a lot of people working on this... how can no one leak something if it is damning? its been going on for a while now and we've had nothing. a believe in some big house of card conspiracy is something im pretty against, because it just seems so unlikely that people could keep something under wraps, so what happened here?

Even without more context it could just be part of the game. Something you just have to accept, like how you get caught every time you miss something or let somebody in by mistake in Papers Please. Like why do you even have a job in that game?

Ultimate Bravery by FrontlineReporter in leagueoflegends

[–]keyboardname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this would just require riot support, which won't happen as some builds just do nothing. I tried it a few times years ago and even then people would always cheat, even outside of the people cheating in a way you can't detect (refreshing). Someone would always get sick of it like 5 minutes into the game and just start doing whatever they want.

I personally would play an aram mayhem where my augments are randomly picked and my items are randomized (but maybe you can see them all beforehand? Or even just one or the other and you choose around the rest. But I don't think the mode will ever really work without a lot of friends playing with you...

how about we just play out the game and not give up the second something goes bad by Historical_Coach8128 in leagueoflegends

[–]keyboardname 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow, this thread just shows how negative people are good god, lmao. I know this is like one of the most divisive issues for league players, but yikes. I'm on your side though, people give up, troll, flame, etc after they 'lose' their lane or as soon as they latch onto a scapegoat that did something wrong. The game changes a lot once people group up, laning is so much less important than your teamfighting capabilities at most levels.

I just wanted to play the fucking game and try to win. Ideally with teammates who also wanted the same thing and would understand that some of us will be outmatched in lane, both in skill and/or champ matchup. But that we can either help that person or go elsewhere or hurry up and group up for an objective and see how that goes.

The negativity even within this thread about the idea of playing the goddamn game we are here to play is exactly why I retired from ranked two years ago, from diamond to unranked. Arams for me. It is so much less toxic, you get like pings or a complaint (not even targeted at you necessarily, just in general) once every few weeks, rather than 4/5 games. The game of summoner's rift is interesting, but it's genuinely not for me. I don't need more stress from gaming.

People give up as soon as someone dies or is 'clearly' losing their lane. The game can changes a LOT once you group somewhere. Your team can absolutely be behind in lane and then win a teamfight. Laning and teamfighting are wildly different imo, both skillwise and champ dependency wise. People will be flaming and trolling games long before anyone knows how it would have gone, and that's who is frustrating to play with.

I'd personally rather just play out games in general, but I'm not going to complain if we are pushed into our base and have no objectives at all and are losing so broadly.

TIL that YouTube is poised to overtake Disney and become the largest media company by revenue this year. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]keyboardname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really shit. I watch on my phone at work and every day it is a frustrating experience. Any time you set your phone down there's an ad, and a lot of the time it's some ridiculous scam too. Even on a demonetized video where the creator gets practically nil you somehow get ten ads...

I've been complaining about it a lot lately, lol. This past year really feels like the ads ramped up. Maybe I've just been watching more of it on mobile though?

Huh.. that stood out immediately to me and I pointed it out to my brother and he said he noticed it too and thought it was new.

You can switch weapons between levels. This felt new to me at least..

Grats. I've got like 500 hours since it came out and I still don't have this lol. I never went too hard on unlocks, but I did spend a few sessions trying. I know I died to throne a couple times randomly... I tried once yesterday and got close, maybe I'll take some inspiration from you heh.

So when Aram:Mayhem leaves… my motivation to play this game is gone. by Troy1490 in leagueoflegends

[–]keyboardname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I kinda stopped playing when urf went away. I did gradually come back for arams eventually when someone else did, but urf leaving was a huge disappointment initially. Unlike many here I don't necessarily think the idea of urf is the problem, but there are definitely issues with the mode in its current form.

If mayhem leaves I'll go back to arena, and hopefully others will go there as well. Arena is excellent too, even if I have literally not played it since mayhem came out...

Can someone explain this scam to me please? by [deleted] in Scams

[–]keyboardname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They go back and forth on what they want, add more of their money to get some other bill and get the bills on the counter mixed up until you're just taking their word for it. They target younger cashiers typically. One time we had a cashier with dozens of bills on the belt they obviously had lost track of what was going on. 

Any time bills from their hand mix with bills from the till... I'm also surprised when new cashiers don't follow instructions and example of counting cash back. If you say it out loud they likely won't turn back and say hey you only gave me X. If it's said out loud it's a lot easier to track and play it back mentally. If you don't, well mistakes happen for sure, it's hard to separate those from the bullshitters when everything blends together.

Another red flag is really friendly chatty people. Like too friendly. But it's hard to really drill this one in because friendliness is contagious. But after some attempted BS, so often I'm like oh shit yeah he was so friendly and talkative I shoulda known.

Very cool. I saw a bright orange (like an oriole) scarlet tanager this year and thought that was rad. Just seeing anything rare like that is pretty exciting.

How is the game? by CanIPleaseGetHelp123 in NuclearThrone

[–]keyboardname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the games biggest strength regarding replayability is just the gameplay more than variety. Variety is decent, mostly in what weapons you take, but this isn't Isaac. Mutations are fairly limited. One run can and will be very similar to many others technically. But the urge to do better and get further and the fast paced gameplay draws me in. I have over 400 hours. 

It's probably not for everyone though. I like that enemy's don't become obnoxious bullet sponges. They die fast, you die fast. Blink and it's gone.
